A few clips from Tanforan Shell's mental health relief event/ humanitarian fundraiser. Thanks for the support and to all the amazing talent. Thanks for coming out for relief! And thank you to all the wonderful musicians and talent, whose names and links are below.

After reviewing Covid-19 surge numbers on Thursday, July 9th, we have decided to postpone dunk tank activities to encourage a safer at home paradigm for now. However, our VR experience in the car wash is 24/7 and is super safe as you remain in your car. We will continue offering live music and a venue for musicians above the Hangry Mart but we have had cancellations. Musicians, please inquire at tanforanshell@gmail.com. Note that wash tunnel media is most compelling after sunset due to greater media visibility in the tunnel after nightfall. We apologize for the inconvenience of eliminating a strong source of joy (dunking a lifesize Covid-19) in this joy deficient era.

Relief-O-Rama

With the shutdown of artistic venues in this time of Debbie downage, we are fueling the arts in social distance savvy ways! Beginning July 4th, you may dunk politicians and other surprises at our dunk tank (dunk a human-size Covid-19 virus!) from 11am-6pm on the 4th and every Saturday in July.

The Hangry Mart rooftop will be transformed into a stage with sea horses and Neptune (compliments of Props2c) for live music to prevail in a live-venue-allergic era of Covid-19. The rooftop music series is called Hardly Unlikely and features various bands all throughout July, sometimes during the week. Schedule of band performances to be posted below. If you're a band and would like to perform, send an email to Tanforanshell@gmail.com. (Only two slots remain avail for the 4th of July!) Inside the wash tunnel, Bubbletown Video Show will feature immersion experiences from global VR artists 24/7, all from the safe contact-less comfort of your car as it gets washed. VR content creators may inquire at: Tanforanshell@gmail.com. Artistic sculptures will also be revealed alongside our hip hop T-Rex dinosaur exhibit, including art funded by anonymous Republicans and on tour from Helsinki. Tanforan Shell & Carwash is a family run business that has sustained heavy losses for the last few months but is funding the logistics and hardware setup of these activities in order to support the arts and provide a venue for multifaceted art in this joy deficient time for the arts.

Tanforan Shell is a social impact business that donates 15% to Covid-19 response efforts, San Bruno schools, the arts, orphanages and other humanitarian projects. We have raised over $350K for social impact causes.

Disclaimer: 
Artistic renditions of Political figures here do not necessarily represent the views of Tanforan Shell or its staff. All art beyond our hip hop dino was funded by Republicans who prefer to remain anonymous and are pieces on tour in collaboration with the Helsinki Museum Of Modern Art. 
Note: Multiple Security cameras.

Real-time audio processing, machine learning and AI, live coding and numerous electronical instruments are being deployed.
